Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi Andrea Always worth a try. A little gem of a formula that was dropped in our lap one day by J R Worsley for eye diseases. Bilaterally tonify Yu Yao, then tonify points which can be found on both sides, proximal of the joint of the head of the proximal phalanx of the thumb (Unfortunately I cannot find these listed under any extraordinary points and my anatomical description may be confusing, but I can send you an illustration). I have used this formula a number of times for different eye problems and have often been surprised at the results.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hi Diane, Thank you for your email and offer to help. My sister lives in Tempe, between Rural Road and Lakeshore off of Southshore. She is unable to drive now, so a practitioner close to her area would be best. I visited her yesterday (I live 2+ hours away, in Cottonwood) and treated her - it didn't make an improvement in her vision, but it did dramatically change her appearance rather quickly. Her eyelids were extremely puffy and with alot of darkness all around her eyes - about an hour after the treatment, all puffiness and darkness were gone. I had assumed her presentation would be one of excess, so was very surprised to see that is not the case at all, but severe deficiency reigns. I connected with Rachelle Marmor L.Ac. who is near my sister, and she has experience in treating eye diseases. She was very compassionate and reassuring on the phone. I also spoke with Chris Vedeler, who is in Scottsdale and has never treated an eye disorder, and Lloyd Wright, who is very knowledgeable but said this is very far from his area of expertise - he referred me to a Mr. Deng at the naturopathic college there, but Mr. Deng did not return my phone call. If you have other recommendations, I'd love to hear them. Thank you again, Andrea Beth " Diane M. Notarianni " <Diane wrote: Andrea, I know quite a few people in the Tempe and Scottsdale areas that are very good. Depending on where your sister lives in this rather huge area and what her specific needs in a practitioner may be, i could help. Email me offgroup, if you wish.
